Chapter 570 Dad, Mom, (???) [1]
Chapter 570 Dad, Mom, (???) [1]
It was late at night and Chen You, who had wanted to have a long chat with Wang and Lin, was ultimately defeated by the power of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. He took the books and left quickly, repeatedly declining Wang and Lin's requests to stay.
Wang Cheng looked at the figure who was almost fleeing in panic and asked in a low voice: "Shun'an, have you figured out this person's background?"
Lin Yuzan sneered and said firmly, "Who else could it be? It must be someone who is very close to the Wu'an Marquis's son. Otherwise, how could the son recognize this person from my portrait while playing dumb and even blurt out his name so that Qingjie could hear it. Pei Yi and her little tricks are still trying to deceive us."
Wang Cheng nodded slightly, with a teasing smile on his face: "If Shunan wants to make a contribution, he should go to the old man as soon as possible and have a good chat about this matter. Qingjie likes the old man more and will definitely tell him. The shadow guards can't let any wind leak out. Don't end up doing the work but not getting any benefits!"
Lin Yuzan's heart stagnated, and he was filled with anger. He rolled his eyes at his old rival and said unhappily, "You should worry more about how to get along with Lin Zi. It's too ugly to make a scene, and it hurts the old man's heart."
Wang Cheng:......
The two old men looked at each other unkindly again, and the air was quietly filled with the atmosphere of "friendship".
After a moment, they both snorted coldly at the same time, turned around and went their separate ways.
Wang Cheng pursed his lips, and his hand involuntarily touched his back. A sharp pain suddenly hit him, rushing straight to his forehead. He staggered back to the study, muttering softly, "Brothers don't have eternal hatred. You are really meddling in other people's business."
Lin Yuzan also limped towards the main room, and the depression in his heart quietly dissipated. Although he could not sleep on the same bed with his wife, lying on the couch and watching his wife sleeping was also a good thing.
Little Yining had no idea that her little thoughts were known thoroughly by the two old men. She fell asleep in a depressed mood and woke up refreshed, only to meet her father's eyes which were surrounded by dark circles.
The little kid immediately showed his disgust: "Dad, you are so ugly."
Lin Yuzan: ...
He glanced at his daughter as she got up from the bed on her own, cursed her in his heart as "unfilial daughter", and stopped paying attention to her.
He took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it on the table, pushing it in front of Wan Niang, and whispered, "Wan Niang, please give this letter to Chen Lang of the Dali Temple for me. He has a way to help me deliver it to Linjia Village. I need to ask the clan elders and grandmother about the matter of the third son in detail."
Wan Niang nodded slowly, without asking any more questions, and just silently put the letter close to her body.
Xiao Yining: (each_each)
The little girl was stunned when she saw the interaction between her parents. She asked quickly, "Mom, have you reconciled with Dad?"
When Wan Niang heard this, her face turned red but she didn't say anything.
Lin Yuzan then said sarcastically, "Dad won't reconcile with your mom, so Qingjie, do you really want to find a new dad to replace Dad?"
You can have this!
Little Yining hurriedly climbed down from the bed and immediately ran to her mother, hugged her legs, and said in a baby voice: "Qingjie, follow mom. If daddy is angry with mom, then he is Qingjie's enemy."
This made Wan Niang burst out laughing. She gently stroked her daughter's fuzzy little head and said, "Thank you, Qing Jie, for standing by me. But I don't have any grudge against your father. Don't worry, Qing Jie."
Xiao Yining: Women who give in too easily will be controlled by men!
The little girl looked at her mother with some disappointment, then looked at her father, as if he was a big liar who deceived the innocent girl.
Lin Yuzan also glanced at this unfilial daughter with a dim gaze, then took her hand, held her on his lap, and said slowly: "When a couple gets along, every step forward is followed by a step back. Only by discussing and negotiating can they live a good life. You can't push too far when you advance, and you can't step into the abyss when you retreat. Dad knows he was wrong this time. He pushed too far and made your mother unhappy. He will never do it again in the future. Your mother has forgiven Dad. Are you satisfied, Sister Qing?"
Little Yining shook her little head, glanced at her mother's gentle face, and said angrily, "Humph, I know Dad must have taken advantage of Sister Qing'er's sleep to secretly do something bad to coax Mom."
Hearing this, Lin Yuzan raised his wrapped swollen foot in annoyance, "You little heartless boy, how can you do bad things when your father is in this state."
Little Yining stared at his feet, which were twice as swollen as yesterday, with his mouth opened into an "O" shape.
As expected, her guess was correct. Her father must have done something secretly with her mother while she was sleeping, otherwise why would her mother attack her again?
Thinking of this, the little girl glanced at her father with disdain. His filial piety was really a mess. He probably did everything except not eating meat.
Lin Yuzan didn't notice the kid's eyes. He lifted his foot for a moment, then grimaced in pain and quickly put it back on the ground.
At this time, Wan Niang explained to her daughter with an embarrassed look on her face, "Last night, after your father returned to his room, he stood on one leg to write a letter back to the village. When I saw that your father's foot was in so much pain, I thought of applying some medicated oil, but I lost my strength and aggravated the injury."
As she spoke, she glanced at the mangled foot with a guilty look, and continued, "Your father was in pain all night because of this. I think the bone must have been broken."
Little Yining also lowered his eyes to look at the "pig's foot" again and pursed his lips. This was obviously a trick of his father to torture himself, and only his mother was soft-hearted and fell for it.
She shook her head speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: Mom, you are really being controlled by dad!
The cunning old man didn't know his daughter's thoughts. He only looked at the guilt on Wan Niang's face and comforted her gently, "It's okay. It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine in a few days in the academy. Don't worry, Wan Niang."
After saying this, Wan Niang looked back at her husband, with an even stronger look of guilt in her eyes.
For a moment, the room was filled with the smell of "dog food".
Xiao Yining rolled her eyes secretly. She was too lazy to watch the young couple flirting with each other, so she got down from the ground using her hands and feet, and ran out of the house in a hurry with her hair in disarray.
The sweet scene between the couple was instantly broken.
Wan Niang hurriedly complained, "My husband, how could you let Sister Qing run away?"
After saying that, she left Lin Yuzan behind and hurriedly chased after her: "Qing Jie'er, come back quickly. Mother hasn't combed your hair and dressed you yet."
"Qingjie, I don't want that. Daddy's feet are swollen like pig's trotters, and they stink so badly that they're bothering Qingjie! Humph!"
Lin Yuzan: (╯▔皿▔)╯, having children really hinders the relationship between husband and wife!
